From a low angle | Photography Challenge
Jun 28 2013This weekly photo challenge is deigned to complement our free online photography basics classes. Each week we will set a different theme and your homework is to go out and photograph a collection of images related to that theme.
You can start this challenge whenever you like and do the different themes in any order you see fit. Think of these challenges as a photography workout. Don’t just do them once and not revisit them. If you do start these challenges as you begin our online basics classes then in a few months why not revisit older challenges to see how much better a photographer you have become.

1. So confident in their instinctual ability to compose an image that they do not even need to properly look at what they are doing to take a great picture.
Or
2. They are an amateur.
I have a feeling in most cases it will be the latter but let’s not dwell on that too much.
